Amad Diallo scored an important goal for Manchester United, who, thanks to the Ivorian, eliminated Liverpool after extra time (4-3). Is this the start of a beautiful story between the Elephant and the Reds Devils?
We can imagine Amad Diallo waking up in the morning.We can also imagine the next day of a hero.A striker who sends his team-mates into the semi-finals of the English FA Cup and in front of one of the biggest names in the English game: Liverpool. Amad Diallo is no doubt deep in thought, his communion with the Manchester United fans who knocked the Reds out of the competition (4-3. ap).And thanks to the Ivorian, United are still dreaming of winning a title this season.
This achievement is something of a relief for Amad Diallo. The 21-year-old has struggled to find playing opportunities since returning from a knee injury in late December.As proof, the Liverpool match was only his fourth this season. Worse still, Amad has yet to play 100 minutes (98 to be precise). Which just goes to show how difficult it has been for him to break into the Red Devils' squad. We can only imagine how happy he must have been when he scored that decisive goal. The youngster trumpets."A dream come true". Amad Diallo went on to tell BBC Sport."This goal will give me a lot of confidence and I want to continue like this."
"This goal will give me a lot of confidence".
If his evening was already set to be magical, it would nevertheless be spoiled. Amad Diallo was sent off for removing his shirt during his celebration. This earned him a second yellow card, which not only meant a red card, but also a suspension. This will be against Brentford in the Premier League on March 30.
On loan last season to Sunderland in the Championship (English D2), the Elephant had a successful year in English D2. With 14 goals and 4 assists in 42 matches, United are calling him back home, even if Diallo is still struggling to make his mark.
